00:00Who do you like tonight in these two games?

00:02One of them's crappy, one of them's decent.

00:04I think you know what, I think they're both going to be pretty entertaining.

00:08They should be very, very close.

00:11The St. Francis and Alabama State game is intriguing.

00:14I mean, you've got two teams that are smoking hot down the stretch.

00:18They've definitely earned their spot here.

00:21One thing with St. Francis, and I was surprised, Scott, because Central Connecticut State were

00:24one of those teams, the people that sort of had penciled in to the bracket, and they knocked

00:29them off in a really low-scoring game, and we're talking about a team, guys.

00:34They were 10-17, St. Francis, 10-17.

00:39They've won six in a row, all right, to get where they are right now.

00:43That's super impressive.

00:44They would have been in the SEC title game at 10-17.

00:48I mean, all you have to do is those 15, 16 games in that conference, you got a nice 8-9

00:53seed in the NCAAs.

00:55But think about it, Scott.

00:56These guys have been playing pressure games, like, yeah, our season's going to be over

00:59if we lose.

01:00Our season's going to be over if we lose.

01:01Our season's going to be over if we lose.

01:02They've been doing it over and over, and one thing that's a little deceptive as well,

01:08I don't think people realize this about St. Francis, Scott, all right, they were 10-17.

01:14They opened up the season at Dayton.

01:16After that, they went to Clemson.

01:18They went to Penn State.

01:21They went to Georgetown.

01:22They played Robert Morris.

01:24They went to Robert Morris.

01:25They went to Maryland.

01:27You got where I'm going with this, Scott?

01:28These guys are battle-tested.

01:29They played good teams.

01:31That's like, they're better than their record is.

01:33So now when they're playing against, like, teams that aren't these power five conference

01:36teams, they're balling right now.

01:39I think they hang with Alabama State tonight, Scott.

01:42I think the point spread's a little high.

01:43I think this is going to come right down to the wire tonight.

01:45Give me the red flash tonight, plus the points.
